Re: [Trinux-talk] initrd memory 587K freed

[Matthew F. <mf...@ci...>]

That kernel isn't *that* big and I couldn't find anything about
limitations using ISOLINUX.

Did you re-run mkisofs to create a new .iso as in:

ISO="/alt/trinux/trinux.iso"
ISOROOT="/alt/trinux/iso"

mkisofs -R -J -o $ISO -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table $ISOROOT

or did you raw-edit the .iso somehow?

Did you modify the initrd?
